I see there is a plug in the bottom and one on the side. If I drain the transmission, what type of fluid/gear oil is best to replace it with and how full do I put it? I would think I should fill it until it runs out the top hole, but I am not sure.
Also, can anyone tell me which way to turn the adjustment wheel on the brakes to loosen them? Not a big deal, but could save me some time on the "old trial and error" thing.
It takes no talent, skill or effort to be different. What makes you special?
